Research $ARGUMENTS using codex web search.

Prerequisites

• Verify Codex CLI is available: command -v codex .

• If not found, instruct user: npm install -g @openai/codex

• Fallback: If Codex CLI is unavailable and cannot be installed, use WebSearch / WebFetch tools instead to perform the research manually.

Steps

• If $ARGUMENTS empty, ask user for research topic.

• Clarify scope: core question, comparison targets, aspects (architecture/performance/cost).

• Run batch codex web searches per $SKILL_DIR/references/CODEX_COMMANDS.md .

• Extract key facts, data, and source URLs from results.

• Organize findings into report structure per $SKILL_DIR/references/OUTPUT_FORMAT.md .

• Validate all links via codex or user verification.

• Replace any broken links with correct alternatives.

• Output final report following guidelines in $SKILL_DIR/references/GUIDELINES.md .

Rules

• Codex retrieves only; analyze and organize yourself.

• Keep only results user cares about. Trim irrelevant sections.

• All citations must include clickable source URLs.

• Prefer official docs > official blogs > third-party > benchmarks.

• No fabricated data. No performance numbers without sources.
